Hi @torralaq ,
Thanks for reaching out!
Unfortunately, EazyDocs does not currently have a standalone [shortcode] for the search bar. The search/banner widget is only available as a Gutenberg block or Elementor widget at this time. This is a known gap we appreciate you raising.
That said, here are a couple of workarounds you can use right now:
Option 1 — Use the [eazydocs] shortcode (includes search on the docs archive)
If you place the main docs shortcode on any page:
[eazydocs]
The search banner will appear as part of the standard docs layout (depending on your theme/template settings). This is the quickest path if you just need search alongside your doc grid.
Option 2 — Use a Classic Widget or Custom HTML block
If you’re using a classic theme with widget areas, you can add a Custom HTML widget anywhere in your sidebar/header with a basic WordPress search form filtered to docs:
<form role="search" method="get" action="<?php echo home_url('/'); ?>">
<input type="search" placeholder="Search docs..." name="s" />
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="docs" />
<button type="submit">Search</button>
</form>
(This works even without Gutenberg or Elementor.)
What’s coming:
A dedicated [ezd_search] shortcode is something we’d love to add. I’ve noted your request and passed it along to the development team as a feature request – it’s a reasonable ask and I expect it’ll get prioritized given how commonly it comes up.
In the meantime, if Option 2 doesn’t quite fit your setup, please let us know a bit more about where you’d like to place the search bar and we’ll do our best to help you get there.
Thanks for using EazyDocs!
